Walk through the Mall By Steve Hutcheson ON a delightful midsummer’s day, members of the Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry took the opportunity to show the leader of the Victorian Liberals and

State Opposition Leader, Michael O’Brien, plans for the future upgrade of the Maude Street Mall. While the final detailed plans are still at the design stage with Council and should

be released shortly, the overall proposal remains much the same with one-way slowmoving traffic being introduced, parking and the beautification starting in the near future.

Islander workers to quarantine off mainland By Struan Jones A DEAL between State Governments will see 1,500 Pacific Island workers use Tasmania as an offshore quarantine location before arrival on the mainland for work on Victorian farms. In return, Victoria will help facilitate the return of 330 overseas Tasmanians who wish to return home. The contra deal is seen as a way to ease the pressure on Victorian farmers, including orchardists in Greater Shepparton, who face labour shortages due to the shortfall in international labour willing to work seasonal harvest jobs. “This arrangement isn’t a silver bullet in addressing this season’s challenges, but it will ease some of the pressure being felt by farmers,” Premier Daniel Andrews said. The Tasmanian Government will quarantine workers from the Pacific Islands

in government-designated facilities over the first half of 2021, with costs borne by the Victorian Government. “This is a critical step towards filling that workforce gap and ensuring fruit and vegetables don’t go to waste,” Mr Andrews said. For Tasma n ia , t he prosp ec t of quarantining 1,500 ‘low risk’ Pacific Islanders (in terms of potential transmission of the Coronavirus) is considered preferable to quarantining 330 Tasmanians returning from around the world. The Apple Isle presumably has apples of its own which need picking too, so the deal begs the question of who’s going to work on Tasmania’s farms? The arrangement is subject to final consultation and agreement by the Federal Government.

Artist completes SAM Drawing Wall

Page 4 – The Adviser Australia No.1:1544 Wednesday, January 27, 2021

By Struan Jones INDIGENOUS Australian art is an evolving discipline stretching back an incomprehensible number of generations, and Shepparton-born Troy Firebrace stands at a forefront of its multifaceted evolution. The young artist, now living in Bendigo, is the 39th and final artist to make his mark on the Shepparton Art Museum’s drawing wall – a series of commissioned, temporary wallbased drawings enlivening the foyer space of Riverlinks Eastbank. The work is inspired by his experiences growing up in Shepparton and with his family on the banks of the Kaiela (Goulburn) and the Dungala (Murray River). Troy’s piece is striking. It’s 12m x 4m. You’ve got to stand right back, or walk alongside it, to actually take it in. “Opportunities like this don't normally come along, not every day,” Troy said. “I grew up here and it's nice to do something for the town. I've always wanted to do a massive artwork for this town, and somewhere prominent as well. “So, an opportunity like this is not only

perfect for me as an artist but also as someone who grew up here.” SAM curator and community engagement (Indigenous) officer, Belinda Briggs, said the wall space between the old SAM and Riverlinks is an ideal spot for such a work of art. “The space is used for this purpose, to have these conversations, and highlight the various perspectives and stories and inspirations that artists want to focus on,” she said. It would be folly to try to describe this piece of Troy’s work here and to do it justice. So, in his own words: “The idea was to create an organic figure with the digital platform,” he said. The image blends a geometric pattern of lines and angles behind a series of bold river-like lines that could be a river, could be the roots of trees that hang into the river, or could be the tree itself. Troy’s work is on display to the public at Riverlinks Eastbank at 70 Welsford St, Shepparton until late June. Check out his work at firebracedesigns.com.

Opposition Leader highlights major picker problem By Steve Hutcheson THE Leader of the Opposition in the State Parliament, Michael O’Brien, came to Shepparton last week to meet with local fruit growers to listen to their appeal for the government to address the shortage of pickers to work this year’s harvest. In the past, farmers have been heavily reliant of cheap labour provided by backpackers and foreign workers, primarily those from the Pacific islands to manage the harvest. With the onset of the pandemic, that scenario has altered measurably. Mitch McNabb, a grower in Ardmona needs 60 to 80 pickers at the height of the season. He has a dozen now and can foresee a substantial loss of up to 80 percent of his crop if he cannot

source pickers in the next couple of weeks, a loss of over a million dollars. The National Farmers Federation is collating data from farmers nation-wide on potential losses that now exceeds $38M. Mr O’Brien agreed that something needs to be done and was critical of the Victorian Government being so hard on allowing some of the 15,000 vetted foreign workers who are ready to come. In the interim, the Victorian Government has done a deal with the Tasmanian government that will see 1500 Pacific islanders go into quarantine in Tasmania while Victoria will support 330 returning Tasmanians. It is an interim measure when Australian farmers are looking for 20,000 workers with

only 4,000 being in place. Adding to the mix is the prospect of lost crops falling to the ground providing a breeding ground for fruit fly, a pest that has been kept under control through assistance from the Victorian Government. This program is facing the prospect of being defunded at a time when a

more concerted direct action is required. Local Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell, said, "This should have been actioned by the State Government months ago. The economy of the Goulburn Valley relies heavily on the fruit production."

The people’s vote on paid parking continued from front page ALTHOUGH the question is to be considered by Council, the decision is some months away. First, the Council will be looking at the available data, the loss of revenue and possibly their own conducted survey of traders and consumers. In addition, the Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry will be conducting a survey as well in support of their advocacy for a continuation.

But is the loss of Council revenue a valid consideration? The purpose of the CBD is largely to serve the needs of the commercial residents that inhabit the region, in their absence, it becomes just another under-utilised public space. On any day, a casual observer can only notice the lack of foot traffic, the number of vacant shops and buildings and the lack of general activity that might be expected in such a region. Finding a car park is not a problem such that it needs such vigilant policing. Hundreds of on-street and off-street carparks

are available daily, even in what might be considered peak times. It is when it takes twenty minutes to find a park that you might consider alternative measures. The CBD is on life support, parking fees are a tax on the oxygen that is keeping it alive. Council needs to take urgent action to address the need for building up the activity in the CBD and the first point to address is the elimination of parking fees, and to ensure that timed parking is maintained to keep available parking spaces flowing.

POLICE SNIFF OUT DRUG DRIVER AT BORDER CHECKPOINT STATE Highway Patrol members got more than they bargained for after noticing a strong smell of cannabis coming from inside a vehicle they stopped at a border checkpoint last Thursday. The vehicle, driven by a 30-year-old Moama man, was stopped at the border in Barmah for a permit check just after 7am. While the driver and the passenger both had valid permits to cross the border, police noticed a strong smell of cannabis coming from inside the vehicle. The vehicle was subsequently searched, and police located a small amount of what is believed to be cannabis and ice. The man also underwent a drug test which returned a positive result. He is expected to face a $496 ﬁne and sixmonth suspension for drug driving, along with receiving a caution in relation to the drugs located. Police also issued a defect notice for several faults on the vehicle.

A year of quiet courage By Ash Tyagi UNPRECEDENTED. Uncertain. Uncharted. 2020 has been just this for all of us. But as Year 12 students on the cusp of finishing our school journey, COVID-19 was an especially unwelcome shock that stood in stark opposition to everything we thought our final year was going to be. In a time when suffering was so immense and so widespread, we felt lost. With each lockdown, each change in restrictions and each human cost, our Year 12 experience got further and further away from our expectations. A newfound appreciation emerged for the simple, taken-forgranted experiences of going to school, learning in a classroom and going out with friends through the lens of remote learning. About two months before my VCE exams, my family, unfortunately, experienced several losses due to COVID-19. The human implication of the pandemic suddenly materialised in front of me, and it startlingly took the form of my aunt and uncle. This was something I had simply never even thought of, and during this time, I really did struggle. It was tough and I was finding it difficult to cope with the jarring reality of Coronavirus. And there was no magic fix-it button. No simple solution. It took time and it took perseverance but gratefully, I had access to great support systems through my family, friends and teachers. Little by little, I found myself being able to cope. There still were bad days, and some that were less bad. During this testing time, I finally appreciated the transformative power of two things. First, seeking help and second, trying: truly attempting the best that you can every day, even if it is not as good as your best was yesterday. Even if all you can manage today is getting up and taking care of yourself. My take from the year is that trying to the best of your abilities every day is as close to excellence as you can get. Your best, at the end of the day, is all you can do and all that can be expected of you. Like writer and artist, Mary Anne Radmacher, said, “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end

of the day saying that I will try again tomorrow”. Last year has been undoubtedly difficult and it will go down in history for all of its losses. Yet, despite its shortcomings, it has made us persistent, resilient and hopeful for a better tomorrow. The Class of 2020 was not the Class of Corona, we were the Class in spite of Corona. Ashima Tyagi is a 17-year-old student from Goulburn Valley Grammar School in Shepparton. Ash has recently completed Year 12 in 2020, achieving an ATAR of 99.6 as the school’s dux. She has accepted an offer to study Medicine at Monash University, Melbourne in 2021.

Bjorn Jarvis, head of labour statistics at the ABS, said this latest data showed that the broad recovery in the labour market had continued through to the end of the year. “Employment finished the year 0.7 percent below the March level, having fallen 6.7 percent between March and May 2020 [after the pandemic hit]. “Although employment has recovered 90 percent of the fall from March to May, the recovery in part-time employment has outpaced full-time employment. “The recovery in hours worked has been slower than the recovery in employment.” The youth unemployment rate was also down, dropping 1.7 percentage points to 13.9 percent in December.

Supply and demand, the problem with fruit pickers By Steve Hutcheson I was listening to an interesting segment on radio the other day, to a beef farmer who was commenting on the current higher prices of beef at the markets. “It is supply and demand,” he said, “Demand is high and supply is low so the prices are better than they have been for some time.” The same might be said for the fruit and vegetable growers across Australia. Their industry in many quarters is labour intensive. For any number of years, the industry has become accustomed to cheap, imported labour from the Pacific islands and South East Asia or people whom have been obligated to work due to visa requirements and are not necessarily doing it for the money. But now is different. The market rates being offered for farm workers are suited to a cheap source but that is no longer the case. The going rate for farm workers can amount to around $25 per hour, a little over the national minimum wage rate of $19.84, it is piece work that depends on how hard you work so it can be a lot less. However, it is not the regular work that the minimum covers. It is hot, it is hard, it is seasonal and requires moving around the country to service the next crop. For someone coming off welfare, it means earning enough so that that they can cover the six weeks of no income before they can re-join the welfare payment system. On that basis, the local

workers are reluctant to take up the offer. On the other hand, if the farmers were hypothetically, offering say an unrealistic $100 per hour, they would have people lined up as far back as Bendigo wanting to take on the job of picking fruit or almost any job for that matter. Supply and demand is a function of our economic system. It impacts on almost everything we buy and so, it is impacting on the fruit and vegetable industry. Other farmers have had to deal with it in their own way. Dairy farmers have for several years had to deal with the increasing lack of availability of irrigation water and the rising price of it to a point where in a number of cases it has become non-viable to continue. The cost of labour is going to be the determining factor in this year’s harvest being picked or falling to the ground.

To date, according to the National Farmers Federation, more than $38 million dollars has been lost due to lack of labour to do the work. At the same time, the Goulburn Valley has an unemployment level around 7 percent while youth unemployment is in the region of 17 percent. In the absence of supply, demand is high and the ball is currently in the court of the workers who are looking for higher dollars to meet with the conditions that migrant workers put up with and necessarily, the farmers are going to have earnestly consider what will bring local workers into the equation. Like the fashion model who famously said she doesn’t get out of bed for less than $10,000, the fruit pickers are going to need to be incentivised to do the same.

Harvest trail collaboration trial up and running FRUITS OF (ADEQUATE) LABOUR... A new trial program to train and mentor horticulture workers aims to recruit and retain more people working on orchards in the Goulburn Valley. Photo: Supplied.

Page 14 – The Adviser Australia No.1:1544 Wednesday, January 27, 2021

By Struan Jones A NEW trial program which sees horticulture workers receive more on-the-job training and on-going support has started in the Goulburn Valley in an effort to hire and retain more workers. THE Goulburn Valley-based Fruit Growers Victoria (FGV) is one of only five organisations across the country to receive funding as part of the $1M Harvest Trail Services Industry Collaboration Trial. The trial is designed to find new ways to encourage people to take up jobs in the horticulture sector – and keep them there while meeting employer demand. Finding and retaining orchard labour is an annual challenge made more difficult this year with the dearth of traditional backpacking labour. Reports of widespread worker exploitation and underpayment haven’t made the industry attractive to Australian workers en masse. FGV grower services manager, Michael Crisera, said the two-year trial, which started this month, was about mentoring farm workers to maximise their time at work. The scheme has included daily pre-employment training sessions at McNab Orchards in Ardmona and will continue with on-the-job support. “It’s not just for fruit pickers, too, but for all forms of farm work,” Mr Crisera said. Mr Crisera said it was too early to tell if the two-year trial was a success, which is run in conjunction with the Greater Shepparton City Council and employment agency

MADEC. About 800 people have signed up to the scheme, but according to Mr Crisera, that doesn’t necessarily translate to 800 farm workers who will start, let alone stay, in farm work. Federal Member for Nicholls, Damian Drum, said in addition to the scheme, the Government was also providing relocation assistance of up to $6000 for Australian citizens and $2000 for visa holders with general work rights for those who have moved to regional areas to take up agricultural work. According to Mr Drum, the scheme has also targeted secondary school leavers, migrant communities, refugees, youth and women, with a percentage of workers coming from Melbourne to work in Greater Shepparton. Greater Shepparton is one of the largest fruit producing regions in Australia, producing 86 percent of the country’s pears, 70 percent of Australia’s peaches, 49 percent of Australia’s plums, 80 percent of Australia’s Kiwi Fruit and 38 percent of Australia’s apples. There are thousands of short-term jobs up for grabs, including fruit picking and packing, and general farm work. Those interested in taking up orchard work this summer are encouraged to go https:// greatershepparton.com.au/business/pickshepp, where you can register your interest. Your details will be forwarded to Fruit Growers Victoria, MADEC Shepparton and Agriculture Victoria for consideration.

Athena’s calling to community work SHEPPARTON woman, Athena Papadatos, always knew she wanted a career where she could help her community. As someone with Cerebral Palsy, Athena knows first-hand the experience of people making assumptions based on appearance.

In October 2019, Athena was able to put her Diploma in Community Welfare Work to good use when she won the role of Cultural and Linguistic Diverse Advocate with the Ethnic Communities’ Council of Victoria. The role has allowed Athena to thrive in her role of supporting people in the community. Maxine is thrilled that Athena’s new role has been so successful. “I love working with Athena, she has taught me so much and I’m so proud of all she has achieved,” Maxine said. “You can see she is so much happier

HAVE you found yourself at a crossroads and trying to figure out what to do next? Thanks to the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments’ newly-established $260M JobTrainer initiative, now is a great time to consider commencing study to explore a new career. Under the JobTrainer initiative, Victorians who are unemployed and/or aged 17-24 will be eligible to access either free or low-cost training in areas of identified skills need and employment growth. There are a range of placements in more than 60 priority courses available to help people upskill, retrain, enter the workforce for the first time and rebuild their lives after a difficult year. Former GOTAFE student, Tyson Saunders, is proof that once you are set on the right path, the sky is the limit. Tyson started his career studying electrotechnology at GOTAFE, and has now established his own business, ‘Tyson Saunders Electrical’. He now employs two students and an A-grade

DAS AUTO... The car, Trevor Mackenzie’s 1971 Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback Sedan, is a source of joy and stunning on the eye. Photos: Struan Jones

Smiles per hour behind the wheel By Struan Jones WHEN you think of yesteryear fastback coupes in Australia, you probably don’t picture a Volkswagen. The iconic VW Beatle comes to mind, perhaps, but what followed was the

Volkswagen Type 3, an air-cooled rear-engine, rear-wheel drive model of sedans and station wagons produced in Clayton from 1963. A sleek Fastback model, produced in Germany, made its way to these shores from 1965, representing a more modern design for the company which had started producing the Italian-inspired Kharmann Ghia. Despite its modern mould, the V W Fastbacks never really took off here. It wasn't long before they were competing with the first generation of Holden Monaros and deepthroated Falcons. Shepparton’s Trevor Mackenzie, an optical technician, is the proud custodian of a white '71 Fastback, acquired by his son as a repairable write-off in Sydney in 2014. Once

the father/son restoration project came to fruition, the keys changed hands to Trevor’s wife. “She calls it her car, although I maintain it, look after it, and do most of the driving,” Trevor said with a smile. The car is an eccentric compilation of design quirks. It’s a driver’s car, but requires a concentration that mostly lapses in modern cars. The 1600cc flat four motor is more than capable for highway speeds. “We’re able to take it on longer trips. We’ve been down to the Great Ocean Road or off for long weekends. It has two boots in it – both front and rear - which is good,” Trevor said. The cabin has a minimalist interior designed

simply for driving. The speedo sits squarely in front of the driver, with other gauges off to the sides. Trevor has a modern radio installed, along with a windscreen-mounted sat-nav which displays the car’s speed in the more decipherable kilometres-per-hour. The common theme from Trevor was that this is a fun car to drive, which is a trait lost on most drivers. When you appreciate every minute behind the wheel, you know you’re driving the right car for you. If you, or anyone you know, is passionate about their car, motorbike, bicycle, or wheelbarrow (basically anything with wheels), please get in contact with The Adviser at editor@sheppartonadviser.com.au. Happy driving!

Shepparton welcomes Fitzy to court JUNIOR tennis players of Shepparton had the chance to have a hit of tennis with a legend on Monday, when Australian tennis champion, John ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald, dropped by the Shepparton Lawn Tennis Club. The visit was part of the Australian Open Trophy Tour which is touring the state in the lead-up to the Australian Open. Members of the Lawn Tennis Club, and Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe, were on hand to meet Fitzy and get a look up close at some of the renowned silverware of the sport. In typical Australian Open form, the weather was unbearable at at least 40 degrees, but that didn’t wipe the smiles of the tennis enthusiasts who had gathered for the occasion.

Cricket returns this Saturday By Struan Jones CRICKET returns in earnest this Saturday for Round 8 of the Cricket Shepparton fixture. With six rounds to play this season, Waaia, Nagambie, Numurkah, and Kyabram lead the charge at the top of the Sherbourne Terrace Haisman Shield A Grade ladder. Meanwhile, the competition’s summer holiday interlude T/20 competition crescendoed on the weekend, with Katandra booking its place in a grand final showdown against Nagambie in dramatic fashion. With Nagambie already booking its place in the T/20 final after knocking over Shepparton United in a canter, Kyabram hosted Katandra in a late afternoon match. Katandra posted a healthy but not daunting 7/124 batting first. In reply, Kyabram was looking good at 4/101, however, tight Katandra bowling left the home side 5 runs short of victory. The T/20 final will be played on Sunday, February 14 between Nagambie and Katandra at Mooroopna, starting from 2.30pm. All final round T/20 match results in brief:
